INBOUNDS The Evolution of Historical Black Players in Professional Football
INBOUNDS is a reference book listing the more than 1,200 players from
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) who played in the
National Football League from 1949 to 2020, including 30 Pro Football Hall of Fame
inductees. In 1906, Charles Follis became the first Black player to play professional
football with the Shelby Athletic Club (OH). Ray Kemp was the last Black player in the
NFL with the Pittsburgh Pirates (now the Pittsburgh Steelers) in 1933.
Black players were banned from the NFL from 1933 to 1945, before Marion Motley
broke the color barrier in 1946 with the Los Angeles Rams. In 1949, Tank Younger from
Grambling College became the first player from an HBCU to play in the NFL with the
Los Angeles Rams.
INBOUNDS includes the bios and images of the 30 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees
from HBCU including recent members Michael Strahan (Texas Southern)
and Aeneas Williams (Southern). More than 50 HBCU sent players to the NFL, including
traditional football powers Grambling State, Jackson State, Southern and Texas Southern
from the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) and Morgan State, North Carolina Central
and North Carolina A&T State of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and players
from the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) and the Central Intercollegiate
Athletic Association (CIAA).
INBOUNDS also includes an essay on the evolution of Black players in professional football from
1906 to 1933, before the color ban and how Black players created teams to continue to play professional
football. Most notable was the New York Brown Bombers organized and coached by Pro Football Hall of Fame member Fritz Pollard, from 1936 to 1942.
